Allocate a new hugetlb_vma_lock structure and hang off vm_private_data for synchronization use by vmas that could be involved in pmd sharing. This data structure contains a rw semaphore that is the primary tool used for synchronization. This new structure is ref counted, so that it can exist when NOT attached to a vma. This is only helpful in resolving lock ordering issues where code may need to obtain the vma_lock while there are no guarantees the vma may go away. By obtaining a ref on the structure, it can be guaranteed that at least the rw semaphore will not go away. Only add infrastructure for the new lock here. Actual use will be added in subsequent patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
